Global sales of electrified vehicles (EVs) soared from just 9% of the market in 2019 to 43% in the first quarter of 2025. This dramatic increase is largely propelled by China, which accounts for 57% of global battery-electric vehicle registrations. Consequently, the market share of traditional combustion engine vehicles has fallen from 91.2% to 56.7% in the same period, highlighting a rapid shift in consumer preference toward electric and hybrid options.
